When you have about twenty minutes go to the following link and get a little better informed on the massive, world wide effort, to force the United States into the "Cap-and-Trade" treaty...

... then you will understand what is going on and why it is going on... and rest assured... it is all about what is left in your pocket book.

The following is just the introduction...

The Complex

The global warming scare was initiated by the United Nations who formed the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988 to promote the scare. Their goal: achieve a global tax (in this case based on CO2) in order to grow the U.N. into a world government. Some in the UN viewed it simply as a means of transferring funds from the US to African countries.

Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) started to see the easy lucre that the global warming scare provided. The United Nations encouraged government funding of NGOs and their participation in UN meetings (including the UNFCCC meetings such as in Poznan, 2008) in order to achieve more influence over sovereign governments that were not cooperating with the UN’s goals. Other NGOs saw it as a way to expand their business of selling fear.

Corporations also started to see the monetary benefit of global warming – not as a tax, but as a cap-and-trade scheme providing money-making transactions. This view uses the same basic global warming scare scenario, but cap-and-trade competes with the U.N. for the money involved. Enron was one of the early companies hoping to capitalize on this; later, other credit trading companies became involved. Certain industries also greatly benefit from the creation of new government regulations, while those whose costs will increase simply pass along the costs to consumers. Many corporations also view it as a way to gain market share via government-imposed regulations that will benefit their products in otherwise non-profitable businesses.

The U.S. Congress started to realize there was a large source of government funding available in the initial sale of CO2 credits for a cap-and-trade scheme (not to mention trading loopholes for election funding)....

These are the competing and/or cooperating interests who all stand to lose if the actual science - showing that CO2’s influence on climate is negligible - is accepted before their money-grubbing schemes get implemented....

...and if you find yourself just a little skeptical after the read... that's OK... but look around and listen to the news about the Cap-and-Trade debate and try to figure out how to prove that all the evidence presented is... wrong?

Consider and ponder.
